Pollack Shores,
which is based in
Sandy Springs,
in January start
ed work on a new
apartment com
plex that will add
341 luxury apart
ments at Ham
mond Drive and
Peachtree Dim-
woody Road in
Sandy Springs.
Construction is
scheduled to begin
in the spring, with
completion sched
uled for 2014, Blair
said. The project
will create more
than 300 construc
tion jobs, he said.
"When it's com
pleted, it'll be con
tributing over
$600,000 in taxes to
the community,"
he said.
The apartments
will be part of a
mixed-use devel
opment and will
replace parts of the
existing Hammond Center develop
ment on the south side of Hammond
Drive. When complete, the new apart
ment complex will offer a lawn where
residents can socialize, a wellness and
fitness center, a yoga area and a dog
spa, Blair said.
North Carolina-based apartment
developer Northwood Ravin is build
ing another new luxury apartment
complex on the north side of Ham
mond, according to the company's
website.
The project, called Perimeter Town
Center, is part of a larger, mixed-use
development and will stand right
across the street from Pollack Shores'
project. Northwood Ravin says its
apartments will feature 10-foot ceil
ings, tiled backsplashes, a private
central courtyard, a saltwater pool,
a fitness center and, of course, a pet
grooming center.
One recent afternoon, Blair stopped
by the 4.5 acres on Hammond Drive
where Pollack Blair has begun work
to replace a small strip shopping cen
ter with a taller building filled with
new, luxury rental homes. "Why
here?" he said. "This location has ev
erything you want
from a multi-fami
ly residential per
spective."
Restaurants,
a grocery, a drug
store operate near
by. And the devel
oper's offices, Blair
pointed out, are
nearby, too.
"This, for us, is
right in our back
yard," Blair said.
"It's a very home
grown, in-our-
backyard develop
ment. We're going
to be proud of it for
a long, long time."
